Thanks all. Watching Benny talk us through the technique while he was doing it was super helpful. I've been a convert for over a year now and even with my traditional gear and my not-so-perfect technique I've been very happy with the results in San Diego. I'm definitely going to put Benny's tips into practice next time out. Much appreciated!
I'm new to salt water fishing but moving to Puerto Rico and i've been watching alot of videos but you guys are really, really helpful. not until i watched this video did i truly understand how to slow jig. showing the technique was awesome. thx so much
Not sure why I was just as interested in the guy who is either wanted by the law or is in witness protection. Who needs to hide their identity on RUclips?
Great info, a real treat to have Benny Ortiz onboard. I was going to poke fun at you for using an electric assist reel until you mentioned 900 feet of water! Thank you and Happy New Year!!!
Would be great if you could add what gear you guys are use in the video. Maybe at the end of the videos a list of rod reel line combos. Purchasing rods specifically is difficult if you can't see how they load with certain jig weights.
Yeah it was like 8-9 years ago I remembered just getting a few jigs online and trying them out on a smaller spinning set up and got wrecked all day long in 180' and I knew then this is the new thing
Just picked up a bunch of Johnny Jigs and tackle as well as the 500N-SPJ reel paired with the TR Innovate Benny Ortiz edition👍👍Been watching this more than 10 times...trying to keen in on the techniques! Can’t wait to get out on the water🎣🔥
Another great video. I'm out on the west coast and I tend to get bit way more using the rise and fall method as opposed to the just cranking and letting the rod work. So much good info here
The parabolic action on Benny’s rod looks fantastic and as expected his form is superb. Those stiffer rods certainly has a place and certain fish prefer that tone. Have you all considered the benefits of a small spanker sail? Even in 300ft it would be of great use.
@@JohnnyJigsTV www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/marine/life/enjoy/fishing/drift-fishing/spanker/ If it is of interest. I use one on my kayak and the dedicated jigging boats use them locally.
Like your electric jigging set up...just bought a TF Levitate 68-4 and planning to pair it with Daiwa Tanacom 500? Whats the link of your portable battery set up. Tightlines and TIA.
Hey John Attached is a link to the portrable battery. johnnyjigs.com/collections/tackle-accessories/products/super-lithium-battery-dn1700-ns-with-shoulder-case-strap-charger
thanks much i check it out...would you mind if i ask if what specs you can recommend on the Tanacom 500, also what lbs of braid line you can recommend for our 300-500 feet of water spots in SoCal? Tia.
oh its my bad...the link already has the battery’s specs....one more question...would the Tanacom 500 balanced on TF Innovate 801MH or TF Levitate 68-4. Thanks you very much..
Howzit Johnny 🤙🏽 I love to watch your videos and learn the technique. Also love watching the actual jig technique and hook ups. But I don't know if you have any or couldn't find any videos on hooking pelagics with the jig. Aloha!
Thanks Matt, Our San Diego video is all bluefin. I will be heading offshore tomorrow looking for palagics. I will see if we can talk about technique on the video.
Very informative video... we just happened into slow pitch jigging after a charter we took. We opted to get a few rods and reels and fell in love with this technique. We have not done a ton of reef fishing with it yet but have had a ton of success on the blackfin tuna. Long story short we just bought another setup today from your shop (jj pro jigger plus power 3 and the boss valiant jj edition) was time to upgrade from the gomexus reels and goofish rods we were using which we liked by the way.... Can't wait for new setup to arrive!!! #staywicked
After the jigging you guys are dropping back down to stay in contact with the bottom. Do you free spool back down or do you apply pressure to the spool to maybe make the jig fall different. Thanks
Great video. I just purchased my first slow pitch setup. Always see people put the rod under their armpit so seeing it under the forearm makes more sense for leverage. I have a channel also up on the Treasure Coast. Tight lines.
I fish alot in saltwater but what I would like to learn is jigging and the proper equipment used since I rarely see being used by locals. I am in Fiji and I love to watch your videos
I will be going on a 2 night deep sea trip in May. Mostly black fin. This will be a once, maybe twice a year trip. What would be the best (budget friendly) rig? Thanks for the great tips
@@JohnnyJigsTV AWESOME THANK YOU We'll be leaving from Dauphin Island Alabama. last year they caught LOTS of black fin, amberjack and other species, we're really hoping to get on some yellowfin this year too. I am a brand new rookie at this. Not sure what power rod to choose. I think we'll be using 300-500 gr jigs??
Very cool stuff! The techniques are very similar to micro-jigging techniques that have been being used in ice fishing applications for decades....18"-24" UL rods with small ( 1/10 oz +) Swedish Pimples/Kastmasters/Wolframs etc. Keep the tutorials coming!!
Noticed you guys are using swivels, is that okay, not hit of performance of the jig? Going to be bottom jigging for the first time so I'm trying to figure out what works. Also, do you find having one assist hook on the top and two on the bottom with the bottom ones getting caught up on the main line? Thanks.
Hi Roy, I highly recommend using a swivel to eliminate spinning your line. I prefer to use the same amount of hooks on top and bottom to maintain a level of balance when the jig falls.
Regardless or my precious post, I learned a lot from you all and Benny. The different techniques available really opened my eyes. I may have been leaving potential good spots too soon. Thanks for all you share.
You can...but when jigging all day it is nice to have a light weight set up for stamina purposes. Also the idea of Slow Pitch Jigging is to impart a slow action on the jig that imitates a wounded bait fish. By having a rod with a soft tip it assist in creating a more lifelike action.
Another great video. Really appreciate the info on pitching techniques. I've been trying to learn and refine my techniques here in the Palm Beach area. There's definitely a learning curve. I'll be watching this video more to help me out.
Great info thanks Just a few questions hopefully they don’t sound silly Does anchoring up work just as well ? Also just say the current is strong and your fishing in 30metres of water would a heavier jig work? eg instead of using a 150g jig you up to a 250g plus jig ? Cheers form Perth wa
Andy K..Drifting is definitely way more effective. As far as the jig weight you can go as heavy as you wish but we try to find a nice balance of using a jig weight that will give you plenty of vertical bottom time and not exhaust you in the process.
@@JohnnyJigsTV it's been a wild ride for the last 6 years bro!! Mexico shut down the Tuna pens and the Bluefin have come up north to the cooler water. Pretty badass! Check out long range fishing out of San Diego on youtube to kinda get an idea. Bring your buddies 🤙❤️🤙 I dig your channel brotha!!
i really want to find that Olympic ION battery pack ... Google search yielded nothing ... I'd love to try it on my Diawa 500 reel ... please give us all the model # ... great video
Hey Alain Benny was using a Temple Reef prototype not available on the market yet. There are Temple Reef rods that are on the market now. You can find them on our website Johnnyjigs.com please feel free to reach out by phone or email if you have any questions......Johnny
The pg would be great for big tunas or deep water grouper that can rock you up. Other wise I would prefer the HG for creating a better pitch on the jig.
Not that I know of. But there is a great website called Japanese anglers secrets. It's loaded with a ton of information that just might make your head explode.
@@JohnnyJigsTV no problem, the love for SPJ is building here. Ive been keen on it for about 5 years now and Im getting plenty of anglers hooked into it. Always good to see it working 👍
Hey Truth, That is a tough one my friend and a great question. They both catch fish. There are some guys out there that are amazing at high speed jigging and definitely catch a lot of fish. I can say that for bottom fishing SPJ is more effective. When it comes to pelagic fish HSJ works very well. The big factor that comes into play between the two is sustainability or endurance. You tend to get wore out quickly HSJ vs. SPJ you can maintain for long periods at a time. So while your buddy is taking a break from HSJ and you are still at the gunnel slow jigging who is more likely to catch more fish?................Just Sayin................Johnny
Great video. This technique has been around much longer in US than 7 years though. We used it in Chesapeake bay for stripers since 2012. Even for Lake Trout on Lake Seneca as early as 2008.
Hi Edward, A high speed rod will be much stiffer than slow pitch. When high speed jigging you will want a faster punchy movement imitating a fleeing bait fish hints why you will want a rod that has a stiff tip. Slow pitch is exactly as it sounds. You are imitating the slow movement and fall of a wounded bait fish. A soft tip will assist in creating a more lifelike imitation.
@@JohnnyJigsTV ok sir i alway save my salary every week becose i bay fishing rod i like slow rod.im buying fishing reel also but very expensive here in Philippines.samday i complet my fishing set up thank you i see your video im inspired to fishing
Yes, It is starting to take off on the the West Side. I have been communicating with several guys in California and Oregon who are crushing Yellowtail and Rockfish on the jig. I would say it is more popular on my side for now, but it is going to be huge everywhere soon.
Yeah it was a bit nerve wrecking. Any touch of the line and you break off. It's a high quality line with over 20# breaking strength. Rick did pull up the big Golden with ir.
@@JohnnyJigsTV That's a minimum $35+ jig, unless its some China junk. I'll probably scale down to a 20lb/PE 1 to maybe 1.5 class. What brand were you all running? I'm all for a 10lb diameter that breaks at 20lbs.

He went fishing without wife's approval.
He promised her woman that he is going to meet his mistresss, while he just went fishing with his buddys. So simple
Hello, this is a great video. Thank you. When you are jigging is it essential to have spot lock or anchor?
